Sharon Stone
|Sharon Stone
Stone in Berlin, Germany, 2007
|Sharon Vonne Stone
March 10, 1958
Meadville, Pennsylvania, U.S.
|Actress, model, producer
|Years active
Sharon Vonne Stone (born March 10, 1958) is an American actress, film producer, and former fashion model.
Stone first achieved international recognition for her role in the erotic thriller Basic Instinct by Paul Verhoeven. She was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress and won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Drama for her performance in Casino. She received further acclaim and Golden Globe Award nominations for her roles in The Mighty and The Muse. In 2004, Stone won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series for her performance in The Practice. She has also appeared in such movies as Alpha Dog, Bobby and, most recently, Lovelace.
Early life[edit]
Stone was born in Meadville, Pennsylvania. The second of four children, including older brother Mike Stone, she is the daughter of Dorothy (née Lawson), an accountant and homemaker, and Joseph William Stone II, a tool and die manufacturer and factory worker.[1][2][3] Stone was considered academically gifted as a child and entered the second grade when she was five years old.[4] She graduated from Saegertown High School in Saegertown, Pennsylvania in 1975.[3] While attending Edinboro University, Stone won the title of Miss Crawford County in Meadville, and was a candidate for Miss Pennsylvania.[3] One of the pageant judges told her to quit school and move to New York City to become a fashion model.[3] In 1977, Stone left Meadville, moving in with an aunt in New Jersey. Within four days of her arrival in New Jersey, she was signed by Ford Modeling Agency in New York.
Early work[edit]
While living in Europe, she decided to quit modeling and become an actress. "So I packed my bags, moved back to New York, and stood in line to be an extra in a Woody Allen movie," she later recalled.[citation needed] Stone was cast for a brief role in Allen's Stardust Memories (1980),[3] and then had a speaking part a year later in the horror film Deadly Blessing (1981). French director Claude Lelouch cast her in Les Uns et les Autres (1982), starring James Caan.[citation needed] She was on screen for two minutes and did not appear in the credits. Her next film role was in Irreconcilable Differences (1984), starring Ryan O'Neal, Shelley Long, and a young Drew Barrymore. Stone played a starlet who breaks up the marriage of a successful director and his screenwriter wife. In 1984, she appeared in a two-part episode of Magnum, P.I., titled "Echoes of the Mind", where she played identical twins, one a love interest of Tom Selleck's character. Through the rest of the 1980s, she had roles in other films such as King Solomon's Mines (1985) and Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold (1987), and played Steven Seagal's wife in Above the Law (1988). Also in 1988, Stone took over the role of Janice Henry for the filming of the miniseries War and Remembrance.
Mainstream recognition[edit]
Her appearance in Dutch film director Paul Verhoeven's Total Recall (1990) with Arnold Schwarzenegger gave Stone's career a boost.[3] To coincide with the film's release, she posed nude for Playboy, showing off the muscles she developed in preparation for the film (she lifted weights and learned taekwondo). In 1999, she was rated among the 25 sexiest stars of the century by Playboy.[5] In another Verhoeven film was the role that made her a star, playing Catherine Tramell, a brilliant, bisexual, alleged serial killer, in Basic Instinct (1992).[3] Several actresses at the time turned down the role, mostly because of the nudity required.[citation needed] In the film's most notorious scene, Tramell is being questioned by the police, and she crosses and uncrosses her legs, exposing her genitalia, which are not covered by underwear.[6] According to Stone, she agreed to film the flashing scene with no underwear, and although she and Verhoeven had discussed the scene from the beginning of production, she was unaware just how explicit the infamous shot would be:[7]
"I knew that we were going to do this leg-crossing thing and I knew that we were going to allude to the concept that I was nude, but I did not think that you would see my vagina in the scene. Later, when I saw it in the screening I was shocked. I think seeing it in a room full of strangers was so disrespectful and so shocking, so I went into the booth and slapped him and left."[8][9]
Stone claimed in an earlier interview, however, that "it was so fun" watching the film for the first time with strangers.[7] Verhoeven has denied all claims of trickery and said, "As much as I love her, I hate her, too, especially after the lies she told the press about the shot between her legs, which was a straight lie".[10] Screenwriter Joe Eszterhas, who later befriended the actress, also claimed in his memoir, Hollywood Animal, that the actress was fully aware of the level of nudity involved.
Following Basic Instinct, she was listed by People magazine as one of the 50 most beautiful people in the world.[11] In 1992, photographer George Hurrell took a series of photographs of Stone, Sherilyn Fenn, Julian Sands, Raquel Welch, Eric Roberts, and Sean Penn. In November 1995, Stone received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, located at 6925 Hollywood Blvd. That same year, Empire chose her as one of the 100 sexiest stars in film history. In October 1997, she was ranked among the top 100 film stars of all time by Empire. In 1995, she received a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Dramatic Motion Picture for her role as Ginger in Martin Scorsese's Casino, in which she starred opposite Robert De Niro.[3] She also earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress for the role.[3] The same year, she starred opposite Gene Hackman, Russell Crowe, and Leonardo DiCaprio in the Sam Raimi western The Quick And The Dead. Also in 1995, she was awarded the Women in Film Crystal Award.[12] Stone starred opposite Ellen DeGeneres in the 2000 HBO film If These Walls Could Talk 2, in which she played a lesbian trying to start a family. For her work on 'Walls', she was again recognized by Women in Film, this time with the Lucy Award.[12] In 2001, Stone was linked to a biopic of the German film director Leni Riefenstahl. The prospective director, Paul Verhoeven, and Riefenstahl herself, favoured Stone to portray Riefenstahl in the film. According to Verhoeven, he discussed the project with Stone and she was very interested. Subsequently, Verhoeven pulled out of the project as he wanted to hire a more expensive screenwriter than the producers did.[13][14] Stone was hospitalized on September 29, 2001 for a subarachnoid hemorrhage, which was diagnosed as a vertebral artery dissection rather than the more common ruptured aneurysm, and treated with an endovascular coil embolization.[15]
Later work[edit]
In 2003, she appeared in three episodes from the eighth season of The Practice. For her performances, she received an Emmy Award[16] for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series. Also in 2003, she appeared in a James Woods-directed American Stroke Association television commercial to raise awareness of the symptoms of stroke. This commercial was also shown in Canada courtesy of the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.[17] Stone attempted a return to the mainstream with roles in the films Cold Creek Manor (2003) with Dennis Quaid and Catwoman (2004) with Halle Berry; however, both films were critical and commercial flops.
After years of litigation, Basic Instinct 2: Risk Addiction was released on March 31, 2006. A reason for a long delay in releasing the film was reportedly Stone's dispute with the filmmakers over the nudity in the film; she wanted more, while they wanted less. A group sex scene was cut in order to achieve an R rating from the MPAA for the U.S. release; the controversial scene remained in the U.K. version of the London-based film. Stone told an interviewer, "We are in a time of odd repression and if a popcorn movie allows us to create a platform for discussion, wouldn't that be great?"[18] Despite an estimated budget of $70 million, it placed only 10th in gross on its debut weekend with a meager $3,200,000, and was subsequently declared a bomb.[19] It ultimately ran in theaters for only 17 days and finished with a total domestic gross of under $6 million. Despite the failure of Basic Instinct 2, Stone has said that she would love to direct and act in a third Basic Instinct film.
She appeared in the 2006 drama film Alpha Dog opposite Bruce Willis, playing Olivia Mazursky, the mother of a real-life murder victim. Stone wore a fatsuit for the role.[20] In February 2007, Stone found her role as a clinically depressed woman in her latest film, When a Man Falls in the Forest, uplifting, as it challenged what she called "Prozac society." "It was a watershed experience," she said. "I think that we live in a... Prozac society where we're always told we're supposed to have this kind of equilibrium of emotion. We have all these assignments about how we're supposed to feel about something."[21]
In December 2006, she co hosted the Nobel Peace Prize Concert in Oslo, Norway together with Anjelica Huston. The concert was in honor of the Nobel Peace Prize winners Muhammad Yunus and Grameen Bank.[22] Also in that year, she appeared in the last episode of the Turkish TV series Kurtlar Vadisi (Valley of the Wolves) along with Andy Garcia.[citation needed] On January 5, 2010, Entertainment Weekly reported Stone's impending appearance in four episodes of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit in April,[23] and then included in a review on the 29th of that April such descriptions of Stone's performance as a "great presence," and having "had to revive her best ... tone to sell hokey lines" in a series it described as "mawkish and overwrought."[24] Stone portrayed Jo Marlowe, a former cop turned prosecutor.
In 2014, Stone was cast in Agent X, a television action-drama series to air on the TNT channel. She will star as Natalie Maccabee, America's first female Vice President who takes the office after the death of her Senator husband. Her first priority is to protect the Constitution with the help of a secret operative designated "Agent X".[25]
On January 28, 2005, Stone helped solicit pledges for $1 million in five minutes for mosquito nets in Tanzania,[26] turning a panel on African poverty into an impromptu fund-raiser at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Many observers, including UNICEF, criticized her actions by claiming that Stone had reacted instinctively to the words of Tanzanian President Benjamin Mkapa, because she had not done her research on the causes, consequences and methods of preventing malaria.[27]
Of the $1 million pledged, only $250,000 was actually raised. In order to fulfill the promise to send $1 million worth of bed nets to Tanzania, UNICEF contributed $750,000.[28] This diverted funds from other UNICEF projects.[28] According to prominent economist Xavier Sala-i-Martín, officials are largely unaware of what happened with the bed nets. Some were delivered to the local airport.[28] These reportedly were stolen and later resurfaced as wedding dresses on the local black market.[27][28]
Chinese earthquake[edit]
Stone sparked a storm of criticism with her comments in an exchange on the red carpet with Hong Kong's Cable Entertainment News during the 61st Annual Cannes Film Festival on May 25, 2008. When asked about the 2008 Sichuan earthquake she remarked:
Well you know it was very interesting because at first, you know, I'm not happy about the way the Chinese are treating the Tibetans because I don't think anyone should be unkind to anyone else. And so I have been very concerned about how to think and what to do about that because I don't like that. And I had been this, you know, concerned about, oh how should we deal with the Olympics because they are not being nice to the Dalai Lama, who is a good friend of mine. And then this earthquake and all this stuff happened, and then I thought, is that Karma? When you're not nice then the bad things happen to you? [29]
One of China's biggest cinema chains reacted to Stone's comments by declaring it would not show her films in its theaters.[30] The founder of the UME Cineplex chain and the chairman of the Federation of Hong Kong Filmmakers, Ng See-Yuen, called Stone's comments "inappropriate," and said the UME Cineplex chain would be presenting her films no further.[30] Christian Dior advertisements featuring Stone's image were dropped from all ads in China amid the public uproar.[31] Stone was removed from the 2008 Shanghai International Film Festival guest list, and the event's organizers considered banning the actress permanently.[32]
Dior China had originally posted an apology in Stone's name, but Stone later denied making the apology during an interview with the New York Times, saying "I'm not going to apologize. I'm certainly not going to apologize for something that isn't real and true – not for face creams," although she does admit she had "sounded like an idiot."[33] However, after the interview, Stone released a statement entitled "In my own words by Sharon Stone" in which she said "I could not be more regretful of that mistake. It was unintentional. I apologize. Those words were never meant to be hurtful to anyone."[34] While Stone cited the Dalai Lama as her "good friend" when she made the remark at the Cannes film festival, the Dalai Lama has reportedly distanced himself by saying of her only, "yes, I've met that lady".[35][36]
For many years, Stone maintained that she had an IQ of 148[37] and was a member of Mensa,[38][39] but in April 2002, she admitted she was not, and had never been, a member of that society.[38][40] Jim Blackmore of Mensa said, "It's delightful to finally see Ms. Stone admit that she's not and never has been a member of our society." Blackmore admits Stone may be as clever as many like to think. He says, "My gut feeling is that she would definitely qualify. But that's just based on what we've been told by other individuals."[40]
Peace promotion[edit]
In March 2006, Stone traveled to Israel to promote peace in the Middle East through a press conference with Nobel Peace Prize winner Shimon Peres.[41] In 2013, she referred to Peres as her "mentor."[42] On October 23, 2013, Stone received the Peace Summit Award for her work with HIV/AIDS sufferers.[43]
Personal life[edit]
Stone currently lives in Beverly Hills, California and owns a ranch in New Zealand.[44] She married television producer Michael Greenburg in 1984 on the set of The Vegas Strip War, a television film he produced and she starred in. The couple separated three years later, and their divorce was finalized in 1990.[45] In 1993, Stone met William J. MacDonald (aka Bill MacDonald) on the set of the film Sliver, which he co-produced. MacDonald left his wife Naomi Baca for Stone and became engaged to her. They separated one year later in 1994.[46] While working on the film The Quick and the Dead in 1995, Stone met Bob Wagner (a second assistant director) and they became engaged. After they separated, Stone returned the engagement ring via FedEx.[47]
On February 14, 1998, Stone married Phil Bronstein, executive editor of the San Francisco Examiner and later San Francisco Chronicle.[48] They adopted a baby son, Roan Joseph Bronstein, in 2000.[49] Bronstein filed for divorce in 2003, citing irreconcilable differences.[50] The divorce became final in 2004,[51] with a judge ruling that Roan should remain primarily with Bronstein, with Stone receiving visitation.[50][52] Stone adopted her second son, Laird Vonne Stone, in 2005,[53] and her third son, Quinn Kelly Stone, in 2006.[45][54]
In 2005, when asked during a television interview for her film Basic Instinct 2 about "life imitating art" (referring to her character's bisexuality), Stone said, "Why not? Middle age is an open-minded period".[55] In 2011, Stone stated on Piers Morgan Tonight that she was never married to George Howe Englund, Jr., despite contrary internet rumors.[56]
It was announced on January 30, 2013 that Stone had split with her boyfriend Martin Mica after dating for eight months.[57]
Stone is a convert to Tibetan Buddhism.[58] She believes in God and is religious by self-description.[59] She is an ordained minister with the Universal Life Church.[60]

I had the same Takagi problem and with this forums' help, I fixed it quickly.
Takagi has a fuse wire wrapped around the back and sides of the heat exhanger
and it is called the HEAT ECHANGER OVERHEAT FUSE. It is connected with blue
wires and a cheap white plastic connector to the HIGH-LIMIT SWITCH in the
extreme upper left of my TK3 unit. Mine had BURN MARKS ON THE CONNECTOR
and when I "cheated" it out with a paperclip, I got hot water.
So, why did it happen? My unit lives outdoors on the porch, and our summers
are hot, about 105 or so on the porch. This may have caused a false overheat
signal, but the connector was burned brown where the wires went into it.
I will repair the bad plug, and maybe open the air vent above this area to drop
the internal heat in the housing. I will let you know if it helps. Tiny automotive
probes and tools from the tool truck help with the repairs.

According to MTV.com, "Robot Chicken" co-creator and actor Seth Green revealed at NY Comic Con that he will be doing a cameo in the upcoming Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series.
"I did something on that cartoon," Green admitted to us at NY Comic Con, revealing for the first time that the "Buffy" star will be making an appearance in the upcoming Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series. "I came in and did a voice."
As for which character Green will play, fans will have to wait for the series to hit Cartoon Network later this year to find out. "I'd love to tell you, but I can't," he gushed. "They make me sign all these papers and then they take my kids away. [But] it was fun."

Hmm, I basically disagree with many of the points made in this. The hobbit was book intended for 12 year olds and although it appeals to adults this is due to not only the action, but the subtle social commentary and the characterisation. These elements are underplayed in this film because basically it was decided, riding on the success of the Lord of the Rings saga that the fans would like more of the same. Hence the elements added to the story to ramp up the action. Comic elements in the book are poorly interpreted and underplayed, essentially this is Bildungsroman story where bourgeois middle class Bilbo is entrapped into having an adventure by Gandalf who perceives him as having more in his character than his life as a rural squire reflects. The opening scene with the dwarves is ten times funnier in the book because it is based on an English comedy of manners. Bilbo is incensed but can't show it because it violates his social code. Ultimately his adventure transformed him into someone altogether broader and the tragedy is that Bilbo is never quite as comfortable again in the shire, nor are the people quite as easy with him, he no longer fits in. Aspects of Tolkien war experiences come through here as in The return of the King. I don't get a feeling these will be films about character and they will be poorer for it although I enjoyed this first offering.
Montrepido | January 2, 2013 10:47 AM
This guys reasoning was ignorant. First off, The Hobbit was written as a kids book, that's why its lighter than LOTR. Secondly just read the damn book and stop complaining.
Sir | December 25, 2012 12:00 AM
THANK YOU for writing this review. I agreed with just about every point you mentioned here. This film is doing well in the box-office, yes, but that doesn't necessarily make it a well-made movie. Just to prove my point to any glazed-eye fans out there, look at the Twilight movies, Phantom Menace, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, Indiana Jones Crystal Skull, etc etc etc.
LinenWeaver | December 19, 2012 11:27 AM
The movie was an awesome experience!
Alan | December 19, 2012 4:25 AM
"Like Paul Greengrass' "Watchmen" or Lynne Ramsay's "The Lovely Bones," the concept of Guillermo Del Toro's "The Hobbit" will end up as one of the great 'what ifs' in cinema history." Err, what? Ramsay was sent the opening, liked it, started working on it, and then was sent the later half ... and didn't like it, so much. She was kicked off the project, and wasn't all that depressed that she didn't get to film a book she had problems with. The tragedy!
Giovanni | December 17, 2012 4:57 PM
"Remake of 'The Fellowship of the Ring"? Seriously?! The guy did not think that the Shire to Rivendell the path traced in two books, "The Hobbit" and "Lord of the Rings" is the same? Ah ... Critics thought just before utter their criticism.
The dwarves are not well defined even in the books. Are THIRTEEN characters! Peter did a good job in differentiating them at least in appearance. Tolkien was never good at delving into characters, considering that Middle-earth is the main character.
Since this is the first film and has a character introductory, much had to be created out of nothing - and another major reason for this was the Appendices of "The Return of the King" added.
About the Eagles. They do not like to help. Never liked help unless to they benefit. That matter has not said about them ... search.
Honestly? Critics of the film said something: contextualization. And as this story is divided into three and the other movies only come in the next two years, the way would be to check the writings, but not in Wikipedia were to take a look.
A shame.
Ragnar | December 17, 2012 3:08 PM
Basically you should read this http://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2012/12/14/the-hobbit-an-unexpected-journey-review-the-best-middle-earth-movie-since-fellowship-of-the-ring/
because some of your "what didn`t" points are just nonsense, because they were in the books and besides as a book The Hobbit and Fellowship are indeed very similar, hence the films are also similar.
LennyG | December 17, 2012 1:37 PM
I'm not that much of a LOTR expert but The Hobbit is structurally written episodically! Why would the film be different? And the eagles...They are key figures throughout the books (in fact, they are given short shrift in LOTR). They represent a different take on good/evil - Nature vs. environmental destruction and they at times have to be convinced to help the West side (good guys) because the bad guys are worse.
Patrick | December 17, 2012 1:10 PM
Did this writer even read the book?! Articles like this make me so mad at people!!!
BEF | December 17, 2012 12:59 PM
Pretty much my thoughts exactly. Only other thing I'd add to the "didn't work" column the troll/cooking scene, which added absolutely nothing other than the first of many, Gandolf steps in at the last moment to save them scenes (and mostly sparing us from the silly humor of the scene).... Also, why is Bilbo so dear to Gandolf? Dude doesn't even remember him.

"-- a complete invention, found nowhere in the book --" The Stone Giants are in the book, right before they enter the goblin's cave. The movie just makes an action sequence out of it as opposed to something mentioned in the distance.
Alex | December 17, 2012 12:42 PM
Shows what poor readers you are... the stone giants are in the book:
When he peeped out in the lightning-flashes, he saw that across the valley the stone-giants were out and were hurling rocks at one another for a game, and catching them, and tossing them down into the darkness where they smashed among the trees far below, or splintered into little bits with a bang.
They could hear the giants guffawing and shouting all over the mountainsides.
"If we don't get blown off or drowned, or struck by lightning, we shall be picked up by some giant and kicked sky-high for a football."
"I must see if I can't find a more or less decent giant to block it up again," said Gandalf

It also felt like Jackson took what he thought people liked in the original trilogy and gave heaping servings of it -- panoramic shots, vertiginous camera work, lots of views of multi-level subterranean lairs. Not new, just more.

SMS Manager is a replacement for the default messaging application for the Android operating system. It features seperation between the inbox and outbox, a detailed folder view in the inbox (unread, read folders), a detailed folder view in the outbox (sent, draft, undelivered folders), and a spam filter for unwanted senders.
Rspamd is an anti-spam system designed to work faster than SpamAssassin by using the event model and various optimizations. Its most important features include regexp and Lua rules for filtering different parts of messages, a number of built-in functions for analyzing messages, fuzzy hash support, SURBL filters, email and character table support, a control interface for remote managing and stats gathering, a Lua plugin system, statistics support (OSB/Bayes), and an AJAX-based Web interface.
Jaro Mail is an integrated suite of interoperable tools for GNU/Linux and Apple/OS X to manage email communication in a private way, without relying on online services (in fact, encouraging users to store email locally). It mainly features a system for mailinglist filtering, address-book integrated whitelisting, and long-term email storage and archiving with functions for fast search and usage statistics. It makes internal use of customized versions of popular Unix tools like Mutt, Fetchmail, Procmail, Mairix, and Msmtp.
pgl4rbl implements a Postfix policy server that mixes two widely used techniques: greylisting and RBL (DNS blacklists). The idea is that greylisting is applied only to SMTP clients that match a RBL; this means that normal clients are not delayed (such as with a normal greylisting implementation), and RBL false positives do not cause problems (like when outright blocking them at the SMTP level).

Spampig DnsblCheck takes the IP address of a mail server and looks it up in common blacklists and whitelists. The program tests against the major block lists from Spamhaus, SORBS, Spamcop, Barracuda, UCEProtect, and others. In addition to blacklists, it also checks against IP address and domain name whitelists and even checks PTR record integrity. The program returns results quickly, typically in less than a few seconds. If you don't get results quickly, it indicates you may have DNS problems and knowing this can also be useful. This application can be useful to spam fighters and email users who are struggling to find out why their messages are being blocked.

Bonnie English wants to teach you Fashion 101 (minus the student fees and late night study sessions) and she aims to "unravel the complications and contradictions behind stylistic change in order to chart the history of modern fashion."
A senior lecturer in Art Theory at the Queensland College of Art, English has created a very respectable academic treatment of the last century of fashion. She begins her narrative with Louis XIV, predecessor of metrosexuals everywhere, and extends her analysis into globalized contemporary fashion, with everything from Comme des Garçons to Laura Ashley prints in between. What is most notable about the content of this volume is the way English handles her broad topic; there are some powerful fashion images in this book, but this is no pretty coffee table accessory. English selects unique subjects within fashion for each chapter and zeroes in to prevent a deluge of meaningless and broad historical summaries.

The Trauma of PTSD
Thursday, 18 April 2013 | A Public Affair
On Thursday April 18th, host Allen Ruff interviewed Jeremiah Goulka, author of the timely piece on Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, "Iraq Is Such a House of Trauma, It Doesn't Take Much to Get PTSD." Allen discussed with Goulka his observations and experience with what amounts to something approaching "national trauma." more »
MEK Still Isn't OK
Thursday, 4 October 2012 | A Public Affair
On Thursday October 4th, Allen Ruff spoke with Jeremiah Goulka about the State Department's decision to remove the Mujahedin-e Khalg (MEK) from its "terrorist organizations list". Goulka recently wrote regarding the the status of the MEK, " The State Department may have satisfied a court-imposed deadline and could help the group's members escape their current stateless limbo, but the decision will enable the MEK to put more effort into pushing the United States toward war with Iran in its campaign to become the new government in Tehran. The court's deadline comes from a lawsuit brought by the MEK arguing that its designation as a foreign terrorist organization (FTO)—which it has held since 1997—is no longer appropriate because it claims to have abandoned violence in 2002; in 2003, when its members in Iraq were disarmed by the U.S. military, the group signed documents promising to use only peaceful means of protest to advocate for its goals. In June, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit gave Secretary of State Hillary Clinton until October 1 to decide whether the group still belonged on the list or the court would delist the group. Whether the MEK still belongs on the FTO list presents a legal question. If it has abandoned violence—including the capability and intent to commit terrorism—then perhaps it's earned removal. The group's many critics point to rumors that the MEK has been collaborating with the American and Israeli militaries and intelligence services. But the FTO statute counts only terrorism or terrorist activity that "threatens the security of United States nationals or the national security of the United States"; even if unsubstantiated rumors about MEK's collaboration with the U.S. military are true, they would not qualify the MEK for FTO status under the statute. This highlights the problem: The law as written gives a pass to groups whose activities are viewed as useful to the United States, just as it could fail to apply to unsavory groups that do not pose a danger to the country." Goulka explained to WORT listeners the negative impact of taking the MEK off the terrorist list, and how this decision will almost certainly further the erosion of relations between Iran and the United States.

Sophie the Giraffe Makes Her DebutTuesday, May 19th, 2009
About Sophie the Giraffe
Sophie the Giraffe was conceived by Monsieur Rampeau, who was an expert in transforming sap from the Hevea tree using the rotational moulding of rubber as a toy-making concept. He came up with the idea of designing a toy giraffe, sensing that such an exotic wildlife figure would be the first in the market, and its size and shape would be ideal for the baby's hands to grasp and fit the baby's small mouths. Sophie the Giraffe, who looks exactly the same as the day she was 'born', went into production on May 25th, Saint Sophie's day, hence her name.
Sophie was an immediate success in France. Young mothers saw straightaway that Sophie was a must-have for their babies when the first signs of teething appeared. By simple word of mouth, the little Giraffe's fame spread. From then on, generation upon generation of children in Europe, have come to love Sophie & her happy sound.
Sophie is still traditionally produced today, by Vulli, which is based in Rumilly in the Haute-Savoie Region of France. She is made from 100% natural rubber derived from the sap of the Hevea Tree. The process of creating her involves more than 14 manual operations and is still a secret, jealously guarded by the company.
So what makes Sophie the Giraffe such a success? This is baby's first toy, and stimulates each of his senses from the age of 3 months.
At the age of 3 months, a baby's eyesight is still limited and can only make out high contrasts. The dark and contrasting, attention-catching spots all over Sophie the Giraffe's body provides visual stimulation and she soon becomes a familiar and reassuring object for baby.
Sophie the Giraffe squeaks when pressed and keeps baby amused and stimulates his hearing. In later months, this helps baby understand the link between cause and effect.
Sophie the Giraffe is made of 100% natural rubber and food paint and is completely safe to chew, just like a feeding bottle teat.
Her soft texture and numerous chewable parts (ears, horns, legs etc) make her perfect for soothing baby's sore gums during teething.
The scent of natural rubber from the Hevea tree makes Sophie the Giraffe very special and easy for your baby to identify amid the other toys.
Easy to grip:
Sophie the Giraffe's shape and size are perfect for baby's small hands. She is very light, and her long neck and legs are easy for baby to grasp, even in his early days.

Q: My husband is suffering from cluster headaches; severe headaches the cause is unknown to medicine. Every 3-4 months he wakes up in pain in the early morning for a period of 1-2 weeks. Then they go as suddenly as they came. We have done all tests but there is nothing wrong with him physically. Do you think acupuncture can help?
A: The evidence for the use of acupuncture to treat cluster headaches is improving but still a long way short of a quality which could allow us to make an unequivocal recommendation. However, the current NICE guidelines for the treatment of cluster headaches in young people, which have slightly different criteria for inclusion, make a good case for recommending up to 10 sessions of acupuncture as a treatment
Much of the research for the use of acupuncture treatment for headaches focuses on migraine, maonly because it is easier to define and therefore easier to set clear outcome measures. As you say, cluster headaches are not so well understood from a conventional medical perspective, and the relatively small number of treatment options reflects this.
Acupunture treatment is based on the principles of Chinese medicine which have been developed over 2000 years, and there are many different ways of understanding headaches based on their location, frequency, and severity. A skilled practitioner will often find other signs and symptoms which underpin a specific diagnosis, and the fixed point and severe nature of the pain suggest a few very specific alternatives within a Chinese medicine understanding.
However, each patient from a CM perspective is regarded as unique and different, and so with conditions like this which are not so well understood, it is always best to seek the advice of a BAcC member local to you based on a face to face assessment of what is going on. This will give you a very much clearer sense of what could be achieved.
It is very important that if your husband goes ahead there are very clear review periods and where possible a clear outcome measure to help assess what progress has been made.
Q: I believe some research has been done on treating hemi-crania with acupuncture. How effective is this? Are there any practitioners within a reasonable radius of SY7?
A:We are not aware of any research specifically on the treatment of hemicrania continua as a named condition. Obviously we have factsheets about migraine
Having said that, the very specific symptoms of hemicrania do possibly have significance within the systems of Chinese medicine. As you are probably aware Chinese medicine operates from an entirely different theoretical perspective, and understands the body, mind and spirit as a movement of energy, called 'qi', whose flow and balance determine the state of a person's health. Symptoms, however, what someone actually experiences, remain the same whatever system of medicine one uses, and the advantage that eastern medicine sometimes has over western medicine is that it can offer ways of understanding specific pains such as those associated with Sjaastad Syndrome and with that treatment possibilities. There are dozens of ways of classifying headaches in Chinese medicine according to location and types of pain, and repeated stabbing pains in a fixed location are often attributed to a specific kind of blockage.
The best advice we can give, however, is to go to a BAcC member local to you and seek their advice on what may be possible. There are at least 16 within a reasonable radius of where you are, and you can generate a list by using the practitioner search function on our home page. Most are only too happy to give up a little time without charge or commitment to assess whether acupuncture is the best treatment option for someone or to recommend alternatives if they think it may not be. We have heard of people using cranial osteopathy as another possible modality for treating this problem, but believe, naturally, that acupuncture is worth exploring first.
It is always gratifying to be able to say very positively that it has been accepted that acupuncture can be used to treat regular/chronic tension-type headaches. The latest NICE guidelines recommend a course of up to 10 sessions to deal with the problem.
Although we are very pleased with the acceptance of acupuncture for another 'condition', as our Research Officer Mark Bovey writes in an article here
we treat a little cautiously, even with such encouraging news. The kinds of research which are accepted by the conventional medical establishment favour trials of a design which we would not use to look at acupuncture. The more the treatments fit the protocol, the less they resemble what a skilled practitioner would do in clinic. Chinese medicine is dynamic and evolutionary; when someone has treatment, the treatment is adjusted for how things progress, whereas in research trials people use the same points formula over and over again.
What this means from our perspective, though, is, to use the quote from George Orwell's famous novel Animal Farm, 'two legs good, four legs better'. If sub-optimal treatment, i.e. formula treatment has been shown to work for treating headaches, specifically designed treatment is likely to be more effective still. The match between western named conditions and Chinese medicine diagnosis is often not a precise one. A single symptom like a headache could result from dozens of different causes as understood by Chinese medicine, and the skill and art of the practitioner lies in assessing the unique balance of the patient to determine how to deal with this unique presentation.
Our factsheet on headaches
also gives some useful background on headaches and research, but our advice remains the same as we would give for any condition for which the evidence was not necessarily as strong: visit a BAcC member local to you and ask for a brief face to face assessment of whether acupuncture treatment may be beneficial to you. There are occasions, for example, where someone may feel that cranial osteopathy or another form of treatment was more appropriate, and we trust our members to do what is best for the patient, not simply to book patients in willy-nilly.
Q: My 15 year old daughter has had chronic migraine for a year. She has constant symptoms. She is under Great Ormond Street Hospital who agreed with our suggestion to try acupuncture as prophylactic treatment as she prefers not to try further medication. She has now had six sessions of medical acupuncture, once weekly, from a GP who specialises in this. She has not had any beneficial response yet, and the GP thinks there is no point in having further acupuncture sessions as there is no chance of benefit now. If it might be helpful we could continue with a different acupuncturist. Looking at the trials that were assessed for the relevant Cochrane review and NICE guidelines, most of these involved at least 10 treatment sessions. Before we stop a potentially useful treatment, we wondered whether in your experience with a chronic condition, benefit can sometimes be seen after more sessions even if no initial response.
A: The short answer is 'yes'!
We were heartened by the fact that the NICE guidelines on the treatment of headaches were based on an assessment of trials using traditional chinese acupuncture rather than medical acupuncture, and that one of our members was on the expert panel. This has two consequences. First, it may be the case that the treatments administered by the doctor did not use the same acupuncture points as those used in Chinese medicine, which would clearly affect the outcome. Second, some of the trials will almost certainly have tailored the points used to the specific constitutional balances of the individual patients. While there may be considerable overlap in the points used for treating all headaches most point 'prescriptions' allow sufficient flexibility for tailoring the treatment to the individual's needs.
We are not demeaning the work done by medical acupuncturists, most of which we believe to be very good when practised within scope and on the basis of good evidence. The great strength of Chinese medicine, however, is that a symptom by itself, however well differentiated, does not point automatically to a diagnosis and treatment, and ten patients with identical symptoms from a western point of view may have ten different diagnoses and treatments from a Chinese perspective. The skill of the practitioner lies in knowing how a symptom relates to and derives from the overall pattern of balance. This might mean that someone treated without regard to this may show very limited or even no progress, and it would be unfortunate to draw conclusions about the efficacy of acupuncture based on this. This is why we occasionally become disheartened when trials 'prove' that acupuncture has no effect when the treatment is not one which a traditional practitioner would ever do, the same points over and over again without any assessment and refinement.
Although we believe it would be worth your daughter's while to have further treatment, we have to remain realistic and say that not all patients respond positively to treatment. There are occasions when treatment can take a long time to achieve change, but even when the symptom does not shift the practitioner can often tell from their diagnostic work that there is progress and change will happen. Equally, BAcC members are responsible enough to tell someone that in their view a course of treatment has done little and is not worth pursuing. Most BAcC members review progress after four or five sessions to discuss with the patient what has happened and to agree together how to proceed.
Even before the NICE announcement, however, the treatment of headaches and migraines is an area where there is a large body of evidence of acupuncture beign beneficial, and although the designs of some of the studies have fallen short of the standards of acceptance in the west, the sheer volume of positive trials suggests that acupuncture will have a continuing role to play in the management of this condition.
Q: Please could you tell me if acupuncture can prevent hormonal migraines which occur during ovulation? I suffer from migraines with aura every month at the end of the ovulation time. Can acupuncture be used to prevent these types of migraines and how would it do so?
A: As you may have seen in the press recently with the announcement of the NICE Guidelines for tension headaches, acupuncture is being increasingly recognised as a worthwhile option for treating headaches, and is certainly high on the list of conditions for which patients seek treatment with BAcC members. As our factsheet shows. Please click here
the evidence is encouraging and migraine is one of the conditions where we believe the evidence is good enough to allow us to claim so in our marketing,and for which we continue to make our case regularly with the ASA.
Migraines are differentiated in many ways, however, a medical term meaning they can arise from a number of different causes. This is equally the case in Chinese medicine; one old but influential article in the Journal of Chinese Medicine outlines 57 varieties of migraine, which sounds uncannily like a famous advertising slogan of the time. The key thing which would engage the practitioner's interest in your case is the fact that the migraine occurs mid-cycle, where the great majority of cycle-related migraines tend to occur just before or just after the period.
The Chinese understanding of the physiology of the body is entirely different from the western one, based as it is on the flow of 'qi', the Chinese term for energy, and a functional understanding of the internal Organs, not simply physical things which work in their precise location but functional units which can carry on working even when the physical organ has gone, like the Spleen or Gall Bladder. This means that the physiology of the menstrual cycle, when expressed and understood in these terms, identifies various peaks and flows during the cycle which can help to make sense of some of the symptoms which occur. A skilled practitioner may be able to make sense of your specific presentation and adjust the balances of your energy accordingly. Even where the symptom may not relate directly to a specific physiological understanding of the problem it is important to bear in mind that there is a very powerful strand in Chinese medicine which regards symptoms as merely alarm bells which, if the whokle system is in balance, will resolve.
How does it work? Well, from a Chinese medicine perspective it is all about ensuring a good flow and supply of qi to all of the body, and the needles are used to re-balance everything, adjusting excesses and deficiencies, and removing blockage and stagnation. Of course, this presupposes that you buy into the Chinese medicine understanding of the body, which most western medical practitioners don't. Their research often looks to identify changes in body chemistry achieved by needles, or to neuriphysiological effects, and there is no doubt that there will be changes in these - it's all one body after al.
The key thing is to ensure that acupuncture treatment is worth pursuing, and if not, to look at what else may be of benefit. The best advice we can give is that you visit a BAcC member local to you for an informal assessment of whether they think acupuncture may be of benefit.

In February, ASTM International and the Environmental Protection Agency took a major step toward creating universal standards for green meetings. In conjunction with about 25 stakeholders, including representatives from the Convention Industry Council and the Green Meeting Industry Council, they voted that the organization should move forward with standards development under the formal title of "ASTM International Activity on Green Meetings & Events."
Although the Convention Industry Council's Green Meeting Task Force developed best practices for green meetings in 2003, the government requires its agencies to use standards developed through an open "voluntary collaborative" process, which prompted the meeting with ASTM, a nonprofit, voluntary standards-development organization that has created more than 12,000 standards used in dozens of industries in more than 60 countries. ASTM is in talks with CIC to collaborate on this effort, though it's unclear who would "own" the standards once they're developed and whether ASTM would charge industry association members for access to them.
The standards development activities are open to all interested stakeholders. For more information, contact Pat A. Picariello, director, developmental operations, ASTM, at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Required Reading
We all want to do our part to reduce the carbon footprint of our meetings, but many of us don't know where to begin. Simple Steps to Green Meetings and Events: The Professional's Guide to Saving Money and the Earth, by Amy Spatrisano, CMP, and Nancy J. Wilson, CMP, gives meeting planners a road map for getting started. The book offers a step-by-step approach to greening an event and includes guidelines on marketing, venues, lodging, transportation, and F&B.

text: HILLSDALE — The sounds of the holidays filled the choir room at Hillsdale High School Wednesday morning. The choir, under the direction of David Boswell, was preparing for its annual concert, "A Holiday Collage." The choir, band, orchestra and various ensemble groups will take the stage at Davis Middle School Auditorium at 7 p.m. Friday for the concert. The choir features five students who were chosen for the State Honor Choir Saturday. The five students were all part of the Regional Honors Choir, which performed at Western Michigan University. Those students are Bethany Bowen, Halley Harmon, Holli Slamka, Sena Finegan and Tory Hood. All five of the students said they were surprised to make the choir. Sophomores Harmon and Slamka were part of the State Honor Choir last year. "It is cool to be with other musicians," Harmon said. Both said the experience is a good one, and they look forward to going back again this year. The students will travel to Grand Rapids Jan. 17 for a weekend of performing with other choir students from around the state. The weekend will conclude with a combined concert. Finegan, a junior, said she was surprised to have made the cut. "I didn't think I did well," she said. Going into rehearsals, Hood said she was battling a cold which didn't allow her to practice. During the weekend the students had to learn three songs for rehearsals. They were then judged by a panel of judges for one of three choirs. Rehearsals were also held for the All State Choir, which will be announced in February. Bowen, in her first year trying out for the choir, said the judges were really nice and encouraging during the event. Since becoming choir director at the school in 1993, this is the third time Boswell has had five students make the choir in a year. "I feel extremely fortunate to work with these kids," he said. "We have an outstanding choir because of them." Boswell said during Friday's holiday concert there will be 31 different pieces performed. "It is an unique performance," he said. Performances from the band, orchestra, choir and ensemble are woven throughout the concert. Tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for seniors and students.

|Internet protocol suite

DHCPv6 is a network protocol that is used for configuring IPv6 hosts with IP addresses, IP prefixes and/or other configuration required to operate on an IPv6 network.
IPv6 hosts can acquire IP addresses using stateless address autoconfiguration, or by using the stateful DHCPv6. DHCP tends to be preferred at sites where central management of hosts is valued; stateless autoconfiguration does not require any sort of central management, and is therefore preferable in networks where no management is readily available, such as a typical home network.
IPv6 hosts that use stateless autoconfiguration may require information other than an IP address. DHCPv6 can be used to acquire this information, even though it is not being used to configure IP addresses. DHCPv6 is not necessary for configuring Domain Name System servers—they can be configured using Neighbor Discovery Protocol, which is needed anyway for stateless autoconfiguration.1
IPv6 routers, such as home routers, must be configured automatically with no operator intervention. Such routers require not only an IPv6 address for use in communicating with upstream routers, but also an IPv6 prefix for use in configuring devices on the downstream side of the router. DHCPv6 Prefix delegation provides a mechanism for configuring such routers.
Port numbers
DHCPv6 uses UDP port number 546 for clients and port number 547 for servers.
DHCP Unique Identifier
The DHCP Unique Identifier (DUID) is used by a client to get an IP address from a DHCPv6 server. It has a minimum length of 12 bytes (96 bits) and a maximum length of 20 bytes (160 bits). Its actual length depends on its type. The server compares the DUID with its database and delivers configuration data (address, lease times, DNS servers, etc.) to the client. The first 16 bits of a DUID contain the DUID type, of which there are three types. The meaning of the remaining 96 bits depend on the DUID type.
In this example, the server's link-local address is
fe80::0011:22ff:fe33:5566 and the client's link-local address is
- DHCPv6 client sends a Solicit from
- DHCPv6 server replies with an Advertise from
- DHCPv6 client replies with a Request from
[ff02::1:2]:547. (All client messages are sent to the multicast address, per section 13 of RFC 3315.)
- DHCPv6 server finishes with a Reply from
IETF standards
- RFC 3315, "Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6)"
- RFC 3319, "Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCPv6) Options for Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Servers"
- RFC 3633, "IPv6 Prefix Options for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) version 6"
- RFC 3646, "DNS Configuration options for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6)"
- RFC 3736, "Stateless Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Service for IPv6"
- RFC 5007, "DHCPv6 Leasequery"
- RFC 6221, "Lightweight DHCPv6 Relay Agent" (LDRA)

When fitting clubs, the skilled staff at Golf Etc follows a seven-step process led by customer interview to analyze shots and swings and determine optimal shaft weight and launch angle. In creating a custom fit and build, the shop aims to cut shot dispersion in half and boost overall distance.
Resting on the site of several Civil War battles, the course at Nansemond River Golf Club drapes over the bluffs lining the titular river and follows a winding path for more than three miles through the riverfront marshland. In total, 14 holes encounter the water's route, forcing players to take special care when striking golf balls off the hybrid bermuda fairways and onto the bentgrass greens.
A relatively lengthy endeavor at 7,241 yards from the back tees, the course's overall difficulty and inherent pressure builds steadily over the 18-hole trial. The 476-yard, par 4 fifth hole leaves little room for error, calling for two long carries over marshy wasteland—one off the tee and one on the approach. And the intensity comes to a head on the famous 17th hole, a par 4 measuring just 365 yards from the back tees. Here the smart play is a careful 250-yard shot off the tee, leaving players with a 100-yard approach onto an island green that could cause the hips of any hula dancer or PGA professional to sway with awe.
The practice facilities provide ample space for warm-ups and concentrated game improvement, from the 1-acre driving range to the 12,000-square-foot putting green. The range's tees are also covered in hybrid bermuda grass, just like the course's fairways, giving players a chance to practice iron approaches and celebratory break dances in real-world conditions.
Course at a Glance:
Typically a place charged with rustic charm and native scenery, Lone Star Lakes Park harbors something more sinister: zombies! The groaning undead lurch and lumber around Zombie Run VA's 3.1-mile trail, eager to feast on and frighten runners as they complete the tree-lined circuit. In the spirit of the season, entrants are encouraged to don family-friendly costumes, though they can also choose to compete in the official Zombie Run T-shirt.
Proceeds will be donated to the Suffolk Humane Society, and they will also be used to help two local children on their path to overcoming life-threatening medical difficulties.
Sleepy Hole Golf Course challenges golfers in an emerald labyrinth defined by tree-lined fairways, wispy aquatic grasses, and views of the mile-wide Nansemond River. Golfers can start off by loosening up drivers on the range and giving short irons a pep talk in the chipping and putting practice areas. After teeing off, players wind through a verdant course inhabited by doglegs, troublesome bunkers, and water hazards that come into play on five holes. The 18th hole tests golfers' mettle with difficult shot selections throughout, as tee shots land in view of the river and prompt players to either lay up for a safe approach or send shots sailing over marshy fescues onto a green sandwiched between a bunker, a drop-off into water, and a patch of carnivorous plants that subsist on divot tools and plaid knickers.
With machines set up in rows to encourage competition, many ordinary gyms cater to men's bodies and psychology, right down to the urinals that were "accidentally" installed in the women's locker room. At Curves, you'll move around a circuit of hydraulic resistance machines that have been designed to work with women's bodies and promote weight loss, protect against osteoporosis, and deal with arthritis. An experienced trainer is always nearby to help manage your machine maneuvering and your muscle making. Instead of fiddling with weight stacks and losing your momentum, the hydraulic machines use your body weight and fitness level to create resistance that matches your abilities, decreasing the risk of soreness or injury. Because traditional lift-and-lower motions create bulky muscles, each machine uses push-and-pull motions to create toned, lean muscles perfect for crushing a grapefruit without looking like you can.
As the annual host of the Eastern Amateur Golf Championship since 1957, Elizabeth Manor Golf & Country Club's championship course has attracted some of the country's greatest players on their journey to the PGA Tour. As golfers traverse each hole from tee to green, they can imagine themselves tracing the footsteps of Ben Crenshaw and Curtis Strange, both of whom played in the Eastern Amateur before illustrious PGA careers, during which they won a combined four major victories without ever corking a driver. Today, the 6,642-yard, par-70 course still hugs the Elizabeth River, utilizing the natural landscape with a challenging layout originally envisioned by course designer Dick Wilson in 1948. The course also benefits from more recent refurbishments that made the greens and bermuda-grass fairways more resilient.
A private establishment, Elizabeth Manor Golf & Country Club complements its golf course with a six-court tennis complex and an Olympic-size, outdoor swimming pool. The club also boasts two restaurants with two patios, where guests can enjoy views of the Elizabeth River and attempt to count the leaves on every tree in the vicinity.
